modern ‘hood: northcrest, atlanta

On a crisp day last week, Andrea and I took a break from our laptop pecking to explore Atlanta’s Northcrest subdivision. This modest midcentury modern neighborhood northeast of the city (zip 30340) is a feast for eyes that hunger for angular abodes and cacti gardens. Here are five homes that made me pull over and consider life in the ‘burbs.

My favorite modern designs incorporate earthiness, like this warm wood siding.I slammed on the brakes for this prickly pear and boulder garden!I don’t think Andrea would go for an aqua house, but a gal can dream.Love the Asian screen!I adore my Lustron, but I can see a split-level ranch like this in my future.
